Abstract
A new efficient optimization method, called ‘Teaching?Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO)’, is proposed in this paper for the optimization of mechanical design problems. This method works on the effect of influence of a teacher on learners. Like other nature-inspired algorithms, TLBO is also a population-based method and uses a population of solutions to proceed to the global solution. The population is considered as a group of learners or a class of learners. The process of TLBO is divided into two parts: the first part consists of the ‘Teacher Phase’ and the second part consists of the ‘Learner Phase’. ‘Teacher Phase’ means learning from the teacher and ‘Learner Phase’ means learning by the interaction between learners. The basic philosophy of the TLBO method is explained in detail. To check the effectiveness of this method it is tested on four different models with different characteristic. The effectiveness is compared with assignment model. Results show better result with reduced confusion of assignment.
